A small tavern at the entrance of the village.
"Have you heard? After a six-month battle, the heroes finally killed the Demon King. Now the Demon King's men have been mostly wiped out."
"Thank God. Finally, we can have some peace for a while."
"But the Demon King cannot be destroyed. Even if the current Demon King is killed, the power of the Demon King will still cultivate a new Demon King."
"Why worry so much? That will happen at least fifty years from now."
"At least we can have some free time."
"That's right! Cheers!"
After the demon king was eliminated, peace returned to the entire continent.
The villagers of Yili Village no longer need to entertain brave warriors and adventure groups. Every day, they gather at the tavern at the entrance of the village to drink wheat beer and chat.
In the corner of the pub bar, a handsome young man was watching the lively scene silently without saying a word.
The boy had black hair and black eyes, which were rare in the kingdom. He looked elegant and easy-going. He picked up the beer in his hand and took a sip calmly.
In fact, the boy is now very panicked.
Three or four black lines slowly stretched down from the boy's forehead.
Bold black words that only the boy could see appeared in the center of his field of vision.
[Name: Xia Mi]
[Race: Human]
[Profession 1: Villager]
[Level: Level 27 (103/1000)]
[Status: Drinking]
Newly added: [Hidden Occupation: The New Demon King's Successor]
Newly added: [Level: 1]
Wait, what the hell is going on.
Xia Mi was so scared that her hands holding the beer began to tremble.
It has been two and a half years since he traveled to this strange world and he has long been accustomed to the identity of Villager A in the Novice Village. Why does he suddenly have an additional profession now?
Or the new Demon King's successor!
[After the death of the old demon king, the demon king's power did not dissipate, and has been looking for a suitable demon king successor on the Elland continent. The demon king's power has chosen you and will grant you unlimited magic power. It is an honor to accept this great identity, destroy all the heroes, and revive the glory of the demon clan! ]
Xia Mi twitched the corner of her mouth: "..."
Isn't this a bit too much for a novice villager to do?
…
Similar to the settings in most novels, Xia Mi is not a native of this world, but a traveler who traveled to another world.
However, he did not travel through time and space to become a brave hero, but instead traveled through time and space to become an ordinary villager in a novice village.
Two and a half years ago, he accidentally bought a JRPG game that had not yet been released. After briefly understanding the background of the world view, he was about to start trying it out when suddenly his eyes went dark and he lost consciousness.
When he woke up, he had traveled to this game world where swords and magic, warriors and demons coexisted, and successfully reincarnated as a Novice Village Villager A.
After all, he is a time traveler, so why would he be so shameless?
However, Brother Xun said: Now that we are here, what else can we do?
Although he is a villager, he cannot gather his companions, dominate the world, and defeat the devil like a hero; nor can he control the power of darkness and fight against heaven and earth like the devil.
But at least there is no danger to life in the Novice Village.
Xia Mi's main focus is stability.
Villagers are just villagers, what's wrong with that? In the game, they are just background NPCs who don't even have an exclamation mark above their heads and can't issue quests. There is no possibility of them being associated with heroes or adventurers.
There are all kinds of races in the other world. Wouldn't it be nice to be an inconspicuous villager, save some money, and then marry a big-breasted and long-legged girl from another race to warm your bed?
However, all the ideas were killed today, one year later.
[Demon King, take action quickly! ]
[Main mission: Clean up the mess. ]
[Accept now/Accept later]
There is absolutely no option to refuse!
"Why did you choose me?"
Xia Mi complained in her heart.
Is it because he inherited the damn skin and appearance from his previous life, and just like everyone in front of the screen, he has an ordinary handsomeness?
Although his appearance makes him different from other villagers, he is still essentially a villager who only knows farming skills and serves as a background figure in daily life.
[The Demon King and 95% of the monsters were wiped out by the hateful heroes. The revitalization of the demon clan urgently needs a hard-working person. You have been 007 for five consecutive years since graduating from university in your previous life, never take annual leave, and have the highest performance in the company. You have the perfect qualifications. ]
Damn!
Did you choose the devil or a pure worker? !
Xia Mi was in no mood to drink beer at all.
At this time, the villagers gathered in the middle of the tavern started to make a noise.
The rumor crystal in the center of the tavern glowed slowly. This was a crystal used by the Kingdom of Fez to spread news. The crystal would only light up when the king announced important news to the entire kingdom.
Now, everyone's eyes were looking over there.
A serious radio voice sounded.
"Now playing an emergency announcement."
"The seven great magicians of the Fata have just issued a warning to the entire continent."
"The power of the Demon King has chosen a new successor to the Demon King."
The villagers in the tavern immediately went into an uproar.
"No way, the Demon King died just a week ago. Is there a new Demon King so soon?"
"Calm down, he's just the heir."
"My mother gave birth to me."
"Are we going to start defeating the Demon King again?"
The Tower of Fat is the place that symbolizes the highest magical power on this continent, and the seven great magicians in the Tower of Fat are even more heavyweights.
The tavern owner signaled the villagers to be quiet and continue listening.
"According to the oracles of the seven great magicians, we can now announce some information about the new successor to the Demon King."
Oracle is a prophecy technique specifically used to deal with demons.
The seven great magicians pray to the Goddess of Magic in the Tower of Magic, and the Goddess of Magic will send down some oracles about the Demon King. Through these oracles, they can help the brave warriors and the adventure team find the young heir of the Demon King, so as to eliminate him before he grows up completely.
"The new Demon King heir is a male with an xp of a female from another race."
Villager A: "As expected of the Demon King!"
nnd!
Playing against me, right?
Just as I got the devil's ID card, seven such awesome prophets appeared.
He might as well just blow himself up.
Xia Mi was so furious when her computer system was made public that the beer glass in her hand was almost crushed.
Fortunately, there are no further updates from the rumored Crystal.
